The Giants recalled Abner from Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Abner was claimed off waivers in August and will be making his Giants debut when/if he enters a contest. The 24-year-old southpaw has logged a 6.28 ERA and 6:8 K:BB over 14.1 innings in the majors and a 4.54 ERA and 43:14 K:BB across 37.2 frames at the Triple-A level in 2026.

The Giants optioned Roxby to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.

Roxby made two appearances during his first-ever stint in the majors, yielding two runs over two frames. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen will be absorbed by Philip Abner.

The Reds optioned Arroyo to Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

With Ke'Bryan Hayes (groin) ready to return from the injured list, Arroyo will cede his spot on the active roster. Arroyo has really struggled thus far with his big-league opportunities, managing just a .529 OPS with zero home runs over 50 contests.

The Reds activated Hayes (groin) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

Hayes has been out for almost two weeks with a left groin strain, but he'll skip a rehab assignment and go right back onto the active roster. He will start at third base and will bat ninth in Monday's game against the Dodgers.

Mayo went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Monday's 6-3 win over Cleveland.

Mayo crushed a solo shot in the third inning and walloped a two-run homer in the sixth to attain his first career multi-homer game. He should continue to see regular playing time versus left-handed pitching, having posted a ridiculous 1.136 OPS in 133 at-bats against southpaws this season. On the year, Mayo is hitting .224 with 21 long balls, 14 doubles, 58 RBI and three steals over 352 at-bats.

Cavanaugh is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

After starting at catcher in Sunday's series finale versus the Mets, Cavanaugh will take a seat as the Giants open up a homestand Monday. Andrew Knizner will be behind the dish and will bat seventh.

Gilbert is not in the lineup for Monday's contest against the Cardinals.

It's right-hander Michael McGreevy on the bump for the Cardinals, but the left-handed-hitting Gilbert will begin the game on the bench. Jonah Cox will patrol center field and will bat cleanup for the Giants.

Walker recorded the final out to earn the save in Monday's win over Cleveland.

Nathaniel Lowe took Andrew Kittredge yard for a three-run jack earlier in the ninth inning, but Walker extinguished the fire to preserve the win for Baltimore. It was the first save of the season for Walker, who has a 2.01 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB with three holds over 22.1 innings. The southpaw doesn't figure to see many more save opportunities down the stretch.

Rogers (10-9) notched the win against Cleveland on Monday, allowing one run on six hits and no walks in 7.1 innings. He struck out six.

Rogers emptied the tank for the Orioles on Monday amid a heated American League playoff race, throwing a season-high 104 pitches in a season-long outing. The left-hander has really turned his campaign around following a dismal start to the year, yielding two earned runs or fewer in 13 of his last 17 appearances since the beginning of June. He'll take a 4.15 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 138:37 K:BB over 151.2 innings into his next scheduled start in Toronto.

Cantillo (9-9) took the loss against Baltimore on Monday, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks in 2.1 innings. He struck out three.

Cantillo looked to be a step slow for a rare Monday afternoon start, landing only 35 of his 72 pitches for strikes. It was his shortest outing since the beginning of June, excluding a rain-shortened Aug. 9 start against the White Sox, and he's now conceded four earned runs in back-to-back appearances after giving up two runs or fewer in his prior six. The southpaw will look to right the ship this weekend in Minnesota, where he'll tote a 4.00 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 154:77 K:BB over 144 innings.
